La Moure Progress: The Letcher
Blade calls the Woonsocket Times 70
account for expressing to Willingness to
accept either of certain gentlemen named
as candidates for delegate in
whose affiliations and position on division
are questionable, if not hostile, The
rebuke is well-timed. Nothing can be
more discouragiDg to the earnest worker
for division than to sac a disposition
manifested i n Influential quarters to put
in peril all that has been accomplished
for the cause, for no other apparent
purpose than to pave the way to pleas
ant personal relations with aspIrants for
place of doubtful relations. For what
have the advocates OF division been
money, and seeking to rally the people

is to be sacrificed at last in the choice OF
q delegate? Let Us at least be wise
enough not to ont our own throats.
Faux County Times: Was the man
who first urged admission as q whole
aid division afterwards an honest
ignoraDus, or q demagogue who sought
BY this subterfuge to forever defeat
division by providing for its postpone
ment till after admissionl 1t is the be-
lief OF the Times that the intention to
mislead IS p~remeditated, as we find only
those who oppose division supporting
the plan. and we do not suppose them
60 ignorant az to think for. a moment
that division would ever be possible
after admission unless it was agreed by
congress In her enabling act and consti-
tuition, as it is the case with Texas.
That it would be impossible to secure
admission as o whole with this reserved
right Of ~subsequent division, is q fact
too evident to require proof, and that
congress- would consent to division after
admission without this reserved right,
no mi but en- lgnoramuH would believe
Tor o moment. No! it ia a deep laid
scheme Of the democratic south to
secure the admission OF the northwest
in great empire states, and IN q manner
to forever preclude subsequent division
or any increase OF senators; then Texas,
under her reserved right, will be divid-
en- into four other states, making her ten
(l0) senators instead OF two, and forever
giving the south the control of the u. s.
senate.
Rapid City Journal; Through the
enterprise and public spirit OF citizens
OF Rapid City the Black Hills country
has been well advertised by the exhibi-
ton OF its varied products at the Omgha,
Lincoln and Kansas City expositions.
Through the same enterprise and public
spirit tho mineral of the coun-
try will also be advertised in the same
way OF the great corn jubilee at Sioux
City. Samples OF the various kinds OF
ores OF the country have been collected
and will be shown at the corr palace
All the work necessary to collect these
exhibits has been done by people OF this
place, and ell the money necessarily ex-
pended in this direction has also come
from here. And Whatever people of other
camps or towns Of the Hills may say,
every district OF the Hills from which
one OF the samples has been taken has
received due credit for it. While the
results OF all this advertising will
mutually be beneficial to Rapid CITY, the
benefits will be felt throughout the en-
tire Hills country. The attention at.
tracted by the. exhibits and the benefits
Alreadys appearing as Q direct result
serve 70 Indicate what might be accom-.
plished by o united effort on the part
OF all the towns and communities oil the
Hills to attract attention ip this direction.
Vermillion Plain Talk: True to her
record CLAY county is on hand Of Sioux
City with the best exhibit in the corn
palace. Old Clay's corn is larger around
and longer than any In competition with
1t. Her corn stalks are taller by half
(like grandfather's olock) than any other
her squashes and melons are larger and
her fruit display contains more varieties
than her competitors. All that lacks to
make Clay the king Of the jubilee is the
handiwork OF Olay's fair maidena and
matrona in arranging the decorations.
IL can never be said beforehand what q
Jury will do. 1t oannot now be be said
whether Clay county will take the fret
prize or not. But, If the merits OF our
exhibit are considered generally and
Justice done, CLAY will win the ~laurels.
Sioux City Argus-Leader: The Church
administration is bringing about one re-
form which should make il exceedingly
popular with that large clssa OF voters
who are more desirous Of clean govern
ment and economical administrative than
of q party name. That reform is in the ex.
animation OF insurance companies and
the suspension of those which have not
sufficient capital behind them TO render
their patrons safe. The fact 10 that 30
loose has been the examination of insur-
ance companies in Dakota that any body
OF men, with absolutely no capital, could
come into the territory, organize under
Its laws end obtain authority to do bust
meas. Interruptions men:haye taken ad.
vantage OF the license and wild cat in
surance companies are sprlnging up all
over the territory, To root these ont by
. careful and honest examination Of
assets and liabilities, to make them put
up the proper amount Of bona fde capt.
tai or else shut up shop, that is the
business Of the present administration /.
Auditor Ward has the matter directly in
charge and there is, therefore, every
reason to believe that no guilty will es-
cape.
